This workshop fulfills 1.5 of the 3 hours necessary according to the KRS 319 ethics/risk management requirement for psychology professionals. Workshop Objectives:

Racial Based Stress and Trauma Assessment: Making a differential diagnosis between PTSD and Racial Trauma, 1.5 CE Presented by Steven D. Kniffley Jr., PsyD MPA ABPP The current literature has noted significant distinctions between racial trauma and traditional PTSD. However, our trauma assessment tools and therapy approaches do not account for these differences (potentially leading to ineffective treatment for BIPOC clients). This presentation will explore the symptomology differences between racial trauma and PTSD as well as meaningful assessment tools to provide an accurate diagnosis and relevant treatment for BIPOC individuals. This workshop fulfills 1.5 of the 3 hours necessary according to the KRS 319 ethics/risk management requirement for psychology professionals. Workshop Objectives:

McCubbin, Ph.D. This workshop will focus on the presentation of several inclusive pedagogical approaches and related application strategies for use in the classroom. Additionally, the presenters will discuss the connection between inclusive approaches to training in psychology to thoughts about how healing and wellbeing in clinical spaces is developed. It is hoped that participants will leave with specific goals for making training and clinical spaces more inclusive. Workshop Objectives:
